<h1>Drilling on a grid report </h1>
<p>Drilling lets you view report data at levels other than that displayed 
 in the report. For an introduction to drilling, levels, and hierarchies, 
 see the <span style="font-style: italic;"><I>MicroStrategy Basic Reporting 
 Guide</I></span>.</p>
<p>In addition to the drilling method described below, on some reports 
 you can drill by simply clicking a hyperlink. If a hyperlink appears on 
 a grid report, this is an object that has a default drilling option. Place 
 your cursor over the hyperlink to see where the hyperlink (the drill path) 
 takes you to. Click the hyperlink to drill. A new report opens showing 
 the drilled-to data. To return to the original report results, click <span 
 style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Back</B></span> <img src="images/backbutton.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="30px" height="22px" border="0" class="img_whs1"> above the report.</p>
<h2>To drill on a grid report</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Click the name of a report to execute it. The report 
 must be in Grid view.</p></li>
	<ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>If DHTML is 
 disabled, drill by 
<a HREF="Drill_dialog_box.htm">Using the Drill panel</a>.</p></li>
	</ul>
	
<li class=p><p>Right-click an object, point to <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Drill</B></span>, 
 and select a drill path:</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>More options</B></span> 
 to open the Advanced Drill pane. If the report's designer applied additional 
 drilling paths using a drill template, those paths will be available in 
 this pane.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>You can select and drill on multiple objects at one 
 time. For example, you can drill down on both the Year and Region attributes 
 at the same time, so that the drilled-to report shows Quarter and City. 
 To select multiple objects, press<span style="font-weight: bold;"><B> CTRL</B></span> 
 while selecting the objects.</p></li>
</ol>
<ol start="5" type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>The drilled-to report is executed. To return to the 
 original report results, click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Back</B></span> 
 <img src="images/backbutton.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="26px" height="16px" border="0" class="img_whs3"> 
 above the report. </p></li>
</ol>
<p class="whs4"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: 
 Pressing the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Back</B></span> button on your 
 browser does not return you to the original report results.</p>
<p class="whs5">You can drill on more than one attribute or 
 metric at a time. For steps, see 
<a HREF="Drill_dialog_box.htm">Using 
 the Drill panel</a>.</p>
